s ENCLOSURE-I.

Ef0VIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF THE POL 1.

Before the staff can issue the POL the licensee must submit the final Post-Defueling Survey Report for the Reactor Vessel that provides both-an estimate of the quantity of remaining fuel and demnnstrates that the fuel will remain subcritical. The staff will review the licensee's submittal and conduct an independent assessment of the criticality potential for both the steady state and accident scenarios.

2.

The statement, in paragraph 2.A. of the proposed POL,

"...-and is described in the Post Defueling Monitored Storage Safety Analysis Report as supplemented and amended and the Environmental Report as supplemented and amended" needs to be revised. The identified documents describe the facility as it would be configured during PDMS and not the current Mode 3 condition.

3.

Paragraph 2.C.(1) of the POL refers to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A only. This refers to the Technical Specifications that would be in force after the licensee enters PDMS.

'The current Technical Specifications still have a part A'and part B.

l The proposed PDMS technical specifications has only an Appendix A.

Therefore the POL would have to be changed to reference both A and B.

II. RE0VIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF THE PDMS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIbHS 1.

Resolution of the amount of fuel remaining in the reactor vessel and the potential for recriticality.

2.

Development of a procedure for NRC staff authorization to enter PDMS.

The staff proposes that the PDMS Technical Specifications be issued at the time the POL is issued. The PDMS Technical Specifications would be in effect only after NRC staff authorization. The staff authorization would be granted once the licensee certifies that all requirements and commitments for PDMS (see III. below) have been satisfied.

i 3.

Development of a PDMS punchlist that. lists requirements and-commitments that were part of the PDMS SER_and TER review. This' list was initially developed by the NRC staff.

I 4.

Development and licensee agreement of'a standard of what constitutes completion and what is required for NRC verification of open items.

t During the open meeting to discuss each of the items in III. below the staff and licensee will agree upon what form of primary documentation is required for each item. This issue is further discussed in item Ill.L.

below.-

i l

I t

. ~

2

. 5.

Development of a procedure for resolving deviations from the TMI-2 punchlist. Once the list of remaining activities has been agreed upon by both the licensee and the NRC, then future changes to the list will have to be documanted, a safety evaluation performed by the licensee, and NRC staff r, iew and approval of the deviation or change.

This issue is discussed further in item III.M. below.

111.

RE0VIREMENTS FOR ENTRY INTO PDMS (PDMS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS EECOME EFFECTIVE) 1.

The following are the conditions in'the Proposed PDMS POL, contained in the February 20, 1992 letter, that must be met prior to the entry into PDMS:

A.

License Condition 2. D. "Special Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Builfing Ventilation Study." The monitoring program [that is required prior to termirating continuous operation of the AFHB ventilation systems) shall include at least 1 year of data before entry into PDMS.

The licensee currently has collected two quarters of pre-PDMS data.

B.

License Condition 2. E. " Unfiltered Leak Rate Test." The licensee needs to develop [and submit] a[n approved] surveillance requirement for the reactor building unfiltered leak rate test (Section 4.1.1.2) to demonstrate compliance with limiting Condition for PDMS 3.1.1.2.

C.

License Condition 2. F. " Additional Submittals Prior to Post-Defueling i

Monitored Storage." According to the proposed POL the following documents need to be submitted and in some cases approved before the l

facility can enter PDMS:

a.

Site Flood Protection Plan.

Requires NRC review.

The licensee plans to submit the plan by the end of 1992.

b.

Site Radiation Protection Plan.

Requires NRC review.

The licensee plans to submit the plan by the end of 1992.

c.

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

Requires NRC review and approval and a license amendment to TMI-2 license. On June 18, 1992, the staff received an acceptable ODCM from the licensee.

The staff is processing a license amendment for TMI-2 which should be completed by the end of 1992. The staff should again review the 00CM just before the licensee enters PDMS to verify that references in the ODCM to the Mode 3 technical specifications have been removed and that information regarding the reactor building breather has been incorporated.

d.

Post-Defueling Monitored Storage Fire Protection Program Evaluation. The staff will review this document, which the licensee will likely submit just before entering PDMS.

a 3-e.

Radiological Environmental Monitoring Plan (REMP). Requires NRC review just before the start of PDMS. Currently the licensee has a THI site REMP with redundant requirements in the THI-2 Appendix 4

B technical specifications.

The staff will review the site REMP approximately 2 months before entering PDMS to verify that the programs discussed in the PDMS SER are included. -The rdtiological environmental monitoring requirements in the current Mode 3 THI-2 Append; 8 technical specifications are to be= deleted by a license amendment to be issued independently of.PDMS and prior to entry into PDMS.

These requirements will be placed in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

f.

A revision to the PDMS SAR,-to in lude the results of the completed plant radiation and contamina: on surveys just before entering PDMS.

STANDARDS FOR SATISFYING RE0VIREMENTS AND COMMITMENTS The staff recognizes that many of the above requirements and commitments have been acted upon by the licensee. Once this list is finalized the licensee will submit a letter that documents which of the listed requirements and commitments have been satisfied. The letter will reference primary documentation (VWis, procedure numbers, drawings etc.) that demor. strate that the work was completed or the requirement or commitment met.

It will not be necessary to submit the primary reference documents but only have them accessible at the TMI-2 site.

The staff will verify by reviewing the primary documentation and/or inspection of the actual modification.

Once the so 'f has conducted its review and determined that the requirement or commitment has been satisfied the staff will close out the item. As other items are completed the licensee will continue to notify the staff in writing of the completed status and identify the appropriate primary references. The staff and licensee plan to agree prior to notification of completion of an item what constitutes the standard for demonstrating completion of the item.

M.

PROCEDURES FOR CHANGING THE AB0VE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDVRES During the remainder of the current cleanup effort conditions may chat.ge resulting in a change in the licensee's ability to satisfy the above requirements and commitments.

Licensee's request for deviations to the above list of requirements and conditions must be made in writing, as an amendment to the 3AR, providing a description of the old requirement or commitment and a description of the change. The deviation request must include a safety analysis evaluating the proposed change.

Requests for deviations to the above list must be timely and allow for staff review (typically 60 days). The NRC staff will either approve or disapprove the licensee's request in writing based on the results of the staff review. The licensee understands that PDMS was evaluated and received staff approval based on the requirements and commitments made by the licensee through SAR Amendment 15.

Significant changes to the requirements and commitments may invalidate, or require a reevaluation of the staff's Safety Evaluation and Technical Evaluation Report.
